With the San Antonio Spurs (45-8) and Golden State Warriors(48-4) both cruising, the NBA has two teams with 45-plus wins at the All-Star break for the first time in league history, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).

The Warriors, of course, have really made an impression, posting a .923 winning percentage that is the best in NBA history for any team at the break.

The Spurs haven’t been quite as dominant in terms of wins and losses, but their plus-703 point differential is the second best in NBA history through 53 games, trailing only the plus-726 mark that was posted by the 1971-72 Milwaukee Bucks, per ESPN Stats & Info.
